ATTENTION!
After modifications of stem and handlebar
position you must check if all cables
are still long enough. It is necessary to
have the full steering range without any
limitations by the cables.
DANGER!
The height adjustment of headset stems
requires properly setting the steering
bearings and improper installation
can result in accidents. Therefore it is
recommended that this is only performed
by or at least checked by a qualified bike
mechanic.
Brake lever rotation
• Loosen the bolts on the Brake Lever Handlebar
clamp.
• Sit on the Saddle and put your fingers on the
Brake Lever. Then twist the Brake Levers until
your hand and forearm form a straight line.
• Tighten the bolts on the Brake Lever handlebar
clamp to a torque setting of 5-6 Nm.
DANGER!
The bolts on the stem, handlebar,
grips and bar ends must be tightened
to the specified torque settings. The
corresponding values can be found in
chapter 21. If bolts are not tightened to
the correct specification it may cause the
parts to loosen or break which may lead
to serious injury.
12. Braking system
Your e-bike is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes.
Disc brakes that are well set up provide exceptionally
powerful and consistent braking. Regularly test the
brake system’s braking performance and check for
brake pad wear and tightness of the system. Brake
pads need to be replaced if they are dirty or less than
one millimetre thick.
DANGER!
Avoid permanently braking for a long
period of time as might be the case
during long, steep descends. Otherwise
vapour lock can occur, leading to total
failure of the brake system, which can
cause serious crashes and injuries.
New brake pads must be bedded in for optimum
braking performance and low wear. Bedding in your
brakes is the process of preparing new disc rotors or
pads for heavy use by transferring material from brake
pads to the rotor through a careful heating/cooling
cycle, which results in smoother brake operation and
improved braking power. The bed-in process also
sculpts the pad and rotor so that they mirror each
other, which maximises the contact area between the
two surfaces.
ATTENTION!
Failing to bed-in your disc brakes can
cause high-frequency vibration resulting
in noise, poor modulation, and lower brake
power.
A bed-in process is required in any metallic brake
system, and it is a simple procedure.
• Find a long road with plenty of space and a
smooth surface that allows you to ride 25 km/h
and has enough space and safety to perform
some hard stops.
• Pedal the e-bike up to moderate speed around 15
km/h.
• Sit down in the saddle and apply the brakes
evenly, without skidding, until the speed drops to
a walking pace. Release the brakes while you are
still moving. Repeat 10 times.
• You will feel brake power increasing with each
repetition. Be careful not to skid as brake power
increases with each repeat.
• Perform the same set of steps, but increase speed
to 25km/h. Repeat 10 times.
• The bedding-in process is completed once the
manual force required for the best possible
deceleration no longer decreases.
DANGER!
Brake disc and calliper can heat up
considerably during the braking process.
This applies in particular after frequent
braking or long descends. Do not touch
the brakes or rotors straight after braking
to prevent burns.
ATTENTION!
Do not pull the brake levers after removing
the wheels. This pushes the brake pads
together and makes it difficult to re-fit the
wheel. Do not transport your e-bike with
the wheels up. This can cause the brakes
to become ineffective.
